tor he was not altogether certain; OF
her residence he was yet ignorant, but
with her heart he was well acquaint-

the kinship of his soul rested with her,
whoever she might be.
Did he realize how much he depended
on this unseen friend? What it he, by
some stroke OF fortune, should he sep.

He shuddered to think of it. But

serious question, and came nearer
home than the first.
The passionate heart of the poet is
headlong. He must watch himself,
for she, whoever she was, might not
condescend to return such a deep
emotion of the soul. Perhaps she had
never imagined he was 80 weak; per.

and he must guard himself from his
own susceptibilities.
Then there came time when she
gave him her full address; this was
something unusual. Doubtless she
desired an answer from him, else why
had she done this?
He would write anyway and thank
her at least for all she had done TO,
him; it was her due, and he was glad
of the privilege of doing this, for with
out her encouragement where would
he have been? The letter had been
| written guardedly, fearing his secret
might escape him; his pleasant secret,
Of the old sweet story, ever new.
She should not know how much he
| loved her-not just yet; she might
turn away from him now in his hour OF
success, did she know all. He did not
dream that fair feminine fingers

There were the flowers she had given
him; there was the manuscript she had
praised, and her words seemed linger-

| flowers to his heart to fill the vacuum
which never had been filled as her love
could fill it, and murmured: II will
help YOU"
She had said this and more as she
stood lingering by his desk, and she
had looked at him over her fan with
an expression he could scarcely inter-
pref. It seemed to him that she would
have been contented to have STAYED
with him, and his heart gave II great
throb OF happiness at the thought.
But he was only guessing, and he
might he far from the truth.
! Autumn had come again, flashing
banners over field and wood. He had
not heard from her lately, but she was
still in the east. Had she become dis
enchanted by his PLAIN, everyday ap-

now after-well, she never said that
she loved him, but she had come nigh
unto that happy confession more than
once; at least he so interpreted it.
But if she did not care for him, God
help him!
That word "Failure" would be his
destiny after all, and the sunshine
would 60 out suddenly from his life.
Was he weak and unmanly to depend
on another so? No; he thought not.
Why had this ono bright star risen on
